yeah i started reading around on the site after you linked it, seems to be fake i was so confused for the time i htought they were legit heh.
The article I linked alone has the phrase “The whore women are asked to weird the most outlandish outfits and to make sure that woman have their milk sacks exposed or to at least have moist camel hump noticeable in the tight shorts.” which is just ripe with satirical language.
Christwire is awesome. I’m always on there. Some of their articles are perfect examples of Poe’s law.
Well in one’s created universe you can make anything the way you want can you not?
damn that line aroused the hell out of me
(It still physically pains me that Nancy Grace has several of her own shows.)
Yeah, Christwire invokes the hell out of Poe’s Law. The fact that it’s talking about modern teenagers even knowing about what the fuck Burning Man is should have kinda clued you in, even if a lot of conservative Christians are that out of touch.
To link to a specific time, you put “#t=XmYs” at the very end of the URL. I never understood why this was so difficult, but I guess it’s because most people tend not to use it; I believe you can also just do it as seconds beyond 60 as well and it will still work; I’d imagine that hours would come before minutes despite never having to it myself.
Eh, it depends on how much you’re trying to do is contrary to what people regularly encounter. Hence why I stated that no one who doesn’t speak Arabic would probably care that Ra’s Al Ghul’s name was mispronounced for a good while, but that it was utterly mystifying that people who speak English could get the name “Mario” incorrect when even the Japanese can say it correctly.
Of course, pronunciation in general is such a light fictional “offense” in most cases given that it’s usually an utterly individual thing that people will generally only rage about it if there’s an unusual name that no one in the book points out is unusual or explains how to pronounce and you take a while to do so. Take Hermoine or whatever her name is from Harry Potter, whose name didn’t even get “spelled out” until the fourth book I think.
You can get away with raping physics, the other sciences and (all) other fields of study as movies and other media often do and usually it’s the only people who study those fields that will notice, much less get mad. Hell, you can even get away with doing it often to the point where people think it’s applies to reality due to how little people, American or otherwise, tend to know science. However, if you constantly point out something that’s (obviously) complete bollocks to people and/or have it certain to plot even though it’s counter to real science or especially everyday real life, expect to get blown the fuck up if you can’t properly (re-)explain it.
I mean, there’s more than enough for violations in media for TVTropes to have several dozens of entries just for them like Convection Schmonvection and Space Does not Work that Way. There’s even enough errors to fill books like Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics.
It’s just that people tend not to notice if it’s science-based because, well, they’re ignorant (or just plain stupid), which is why you don’t hear most people still complaining to this day that The Core was one of the worst movies ever and why shit like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 still tend to get made.
This makes me realize why the sci-fi genre probably occupies its unfortunate ghetto: science is still not so main stream that regular people are actively interested it and most of the people who study whatever science involved probably end up getting pissed off at the woefully inaccuracies. It’s probably why most things that could easily be seen as sci-fi movies (like the above three movies) or at least having sci-fi elements get labeled as other, un-related things like “disaster movies” or “action flicks” or whatever and sci-fi is relegated almost solely to space. But now–yes, only now–am I starting to rant.
TL;DR - Yes, you generally can and probably stand decent change of getting away with it overall if it’s not related to something the average person encounters rather frequently in real life, like sex or cars or certain animals or languages.
I originally joined in March 2001 and then BlodiaVulcan5’s insipid “Describe Someone Above Me Thread” exploded so fast in October 2002 that it caused the site to crash and somehow randomly delete dozens of people’s accounts–this did not include his own of course because there is truly no justice in this world. So I re-registered the same day (since I couldn’t get my original name of “Sho 2” back for some reason) that it happened/got fixed and have never seen forgiven him since I am a bitter, bitter person.
VS or Ronin are among some of the people that can vouch for me on this utterly unimportant issue.
You really really didn’t.
Hey hey hey whoa there mr. Sho 2.
Hold up.
Don’t be putting words in my mouth talking about me loving Mr “I BBQ teletubbies” Six over here.
(…I’m not even sure what’s going on in that clip.)
Hmm…fucking alerts. How do they work?
Maybe I’ll go bug MrWizard for the first time ever to find out why it seems so inconsistent…
Indeed I did. In purely jest to your reply to “not bring that shit in here”. Sir, it was already here when you had arrived.
Regardless, just because I brought it doesn’t mean it was ever important or that I was ever being serious about it. Not sure why you seem to be taking this “Ra’s Al Ghul’s name is WRONG” thing so seriously. Why so serious?
I would have said “care”, but according to Femto, no one is softer than Americans and you’re Canadian, so…
Besides, you can hate the things you love. A lot.
(Filler.)
I’m still getting around to that. I haven’t forgotten about it. Given that I was supposed to go somewhere today and that fell through (like half of the time it does), if I can get what I need out of the way by this weekend, then I’ll try to start by this weekend if not earlier. Trust me, it’s still saved to my primary Word document, which means I have it glaring me in the face every time I open the damn thing.
(Christopher Walken was in Batman Returns? Hunh.)
Ugh. So sleepy all of a sudden. Sometimes I genuinely I wish I could feel heat. Or maybe I’m tired because I stayed in bed too long. Hmmm…
Fair enough. I wasn’t aware that you studied Arabic, but I know I still get annoyed when people pronounce Ryu “Rye-you” partly because I studied Japanese.
The rape of my childhood continues, Teenage years. Just discovered the Macross Ace Frontier version of Information High. WTF? It sounds like someone sampled the original in low bitrate, threw it into FL Studio and loaded up Slayer onto a MIDI track downloaded from a 90’s era geocities fan website. Horrible. That song is a classic. :tdown:
nice got another trophy. 883 bitchez
898, Step up son.
Yeah but at least 500 of yours is cheated 
I wouldn’t say cheated. The admins felt I deserved it for being so awesome.
oh god, i’m downloading mtg: dotpw2012…so much for productivity
i hope it’s less buggy than the first one, and I really hope a firemind deck is in there
Sheeeeit,
Walken was Max Schreck in Batman Returns. I still enjoy the “Michael Keaton era” Batman, and I listen to Danny Elfman’s soundtracks for those 2 movies on a regular basis. Batman Returns was also the only time that Penguin became a slightly interesting character.
*Yeah, “Z” from SPD was quite alright, though there was only 1 brief moment in the entire season where her legs were shown…and even then, it was only part of the bottom half.
*The black guy that was the red ranger in that season… he later appeared in 1 episode of Smallville a couple of seasons ago… he got killed by one of those things that escaped the Phantom Zone. Haha, the dude didn’t even make it past the first scene… I wonder how much he got paid for such little screen time?
*Blue Ranger from Wild Force (Phillip Jean Marie, I think was the name) later showed up as a homicidal hermaphrodite with a mask on NBC’s Passions (the greatest soap opera of all time). Black Ranger Jack Guzman later appeared on Days of Our Lives, but only for a short time.
*Of course Cerina Vincent (Yellow from Lost Galaxy) was known for being the naked foreign exchange student in Not Another Teen Movie. Her ass looked SUPERB in that scene.
*Lightspeed Rescue— this was one of the lower ranked seasons, imo. The theme/concept here just wasn’t appealing to me, though it at least gave us that gorgeous “Ms. Fairweather” (Monica Louwrens). The theme song for this season also wasn’t that great… the Special Ranger this time was “Titanium Ranger”.
--------------More random nonsense at work…
-Once again, I want to go back in time and strangle the people who came up with the very concept of unemployment…or at least those who came up with the rules for it. Over the years, it just continued to become more and more of a convoluted mess of shit that makes you want to find a random living thing one day and savagely beat it to death. There’s so much shit that simply doesn’t make sense, or is more complicated than it should be…and there’s so many procedures and oddities in the system that only lead to tons of overpayment issues time and time again, all damn day… add in the factor of unbelievably stupid/ignorant people (many of which are definitely going to commit fraud on the first chance they get, of course…because there is no “honor” or other respectable qualities of human nature…that’s all a goddamn lie. Most people are scum, and that is undeniable fact.) filing for this shit, and you’d see that the phrase “frustrating/stressful job” is an understatement. Imagine being completely lost and already in daydreamer mode while The Architect from the Matrix universe explains the intricacies of the universe to you one day, and there ya go. There’s some claim situations where I’ve had to actually sketch out a picture of what was supposed to happen on a claim that’s fucked up for a variety of reasons…you actually need visual aid just to even begin understanding what the fuck is going on, and what needs to be done next.
